Massive sunspot AR3664: A gigantic sunspot, AR3664, on the&nbsp;surface of the&nbsp;sun&nbsp;ballooned and grew so massive that it can fit 15 Earths and has become the most active one in the current solar cycle.&nbsp;

Now, this gigantic sunspot released a powerful&nbsp;X-class solar flare towards the Earth&nbsp;which&nbsp;led&nbsp;to radio blackouts in various areas.&nbsp;

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center had earlier this week&nbsp;issued a warning&nbsp;of increased&nbsp;solar flare&nbsp;risk from the&nbsp;Sun.

"Region 3664 has grown considerably and has become much more magnetically complex,"&nbsp;read NOAA's SWPC reports. "This has&nbsp;led to&nbsp;increased solar flare probabilities over the next several days," it added.

The giant sunspot has fired more powerful solar flares&nbsp;in recent days&nbsp;than estimated.&nbsp;This&nbsp;included a colossal X-class solar flare&nbsp;which&nbsp;was&nbsp;released on May 9 morning and peaked at 5:13 am&nbsp;EDT (0913 GMT).

Solar flares are eruptions from the&nbsp;surface of the&nbsp;sun&nbsp;which&nbsp;release intense bursts of electromagnetic radiation. According to their size, the solar flares have been categorised into lettered groups and the X-class&nbsp;is considered the most powerful.&nbsp;

Because of this, the X-flare led to shortwave radio blackouts across parts of Europe and Africa. The radio blackouts happened due to extreme ultraviolet radiation&nbsp;which&nbsp;was&nbsp;released&nbsp;during the eruption&nbsp;and&nbsp;the strong pulse of X-rays.

<h2>Sunspot visible from Earth&nbsp;</h2>

The sunspot AR3664,&nbsp;which&nbsp;is&nbsp;spread&nbsp;across 124,000 (200,000 kilometres), is currently 15 times wider than Earth, as per Spaceweather.com.&nbsp;

The sunspot is so&nbsp;huge&nbsp;that it is visible from Earth without&nbsp;any need for&nbsp;magnification. Those&nbsp;who have&nbsp;a pair of&nbsp;solar eclipse&nbsp;glasses&nbsp;can use them to observe the&nbsp;sun&nbsp;and observe the mammoth sunspot cross the solar disk.&nbsp;

<h2>NASA shares images of dancing loops</h2>

In a recent post, NASA shared two GIFs (graphics interchange format)&nbsp;which&nbsp;captured the moment&nbsp;two powerful solar flares&nbsp;were unleashed&nbsp;by the&nbsp;sun.&nbsp;

Watch:&nbsp;Boeing to send Starliner space capsule with 2 astronauts'

The two solar flares erupted on May 7 and May 8 from the sunspots AR3663 and AR3664.&nbsp;

"You make a loop-de-loop and pull, and your&nbsp;Sun&nbsp;is looking&nbsp;cool! Late at night on May 7 and in the wee hours of May 8, the&nbsp;Sun&nbsp;emitted this powerful pair of solar flares. These two energetic flashes with dancing loops&nbsp;were captured&nbsp;by @NASAGoddard's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which always has its eye on the&nbsp;Sun," wrote&nbsp;NASA,&nbsp;in the&nbsp;caption of the post.&nbsp;

"The Sun-like even the most vibrant people-is&nbsp;not&nbsp;a constant ray of sunshine. It constantly cycles through periods of higher and lower activity. High activity can lead to these solar flares, or dramatic&nbsp;explosions of energy&nbsp;out from the&nbsp;Sun," NASA added.

Massive sunspot AR3664: A gigantic sunspot, AR3664, on the surface of the sun ballooned and grew so massive that it can fit 15 Earths and has become the most active one in the current solar cycle.

Massive sunspot AR3664: A gigantic sunspot, AR3664, on the surface of the sun ballooned and grew so massive that it can fit 15 Earths and has become the most active one in the current solar cycle. Now, this gigantic sunspot released a powerful X-class solar flare towards the Earth which led to radio blackouts in various areas. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center had earlier this week issued a warning of increased solar flare risk from the Sun. "Region 3664 has grown considerably and has become much more magnetically complex," read NOAA's SWPC reports. "This has led to increased solar flare probabilities over the next several days," it added. Also Read: Sun fires massive solar flares directly at Earth; Australia, Japan and China witness radio blackouts The giant sunspot has fired more powerful solar flares in recent days than estimated. This included a colossal X-class solar flare which was released on May 9 morning and peaked at 5:13 am EDT (0913 GMT). Solar flares are eruptions from the surface of the sun which release intense bursts of electromagnetic radiation. According to their size, the solar flares have been categorised into lettered groups and the X-class is considered the most powerful. Because of this, the X-flare led to shortwave radio blackouts across parts of Europe and Africa. The radio blackouts happened due to extreme ultraviolet radiation which was released during the eruption and the strong pulse of X-rays. Sunspot visible from Earth The sunspot AR3664, which is spread across 124,000 (200,000 kilometres), is currently 15 times wider than Earth, as per Spaceweather.com. The sunspot is so huge that it is visible from Earth without any need for magnification. Those who have a pair of solar eclipse glasses can use them to observe the sun and observe the mammoth sunspot cross the solar disk. NASA shares images of dancing loops In a recent post, NASA shared two GIFs (graphics interchange format) which captured the moment two powerful solar flares were unleashed by the sun. Watch: Boeing to send Starliner space capsule with 2 astronauts' The two solar flares erupted on May 7 and May 8 from the sunspots AR3663 and AR3664. "You make a loop-de-loop and pull, and your Sun is looking cool! Late at night on May 7 and in the wee hours of May 8, the Sun emitted this powerful pair of solar flares. These two energetic flashes with dancing loops were captured by @NASAGoddard's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which always has its eye on the Sun," wrote NASA, in the caption of the post.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy replaced the commander of his special forces on Thursday, the second time in half a year that he has changed the head of the unit which operates in Moscow-occupied territories.

The dismissal of Colonel Serhiy Lupanchuk and appointment of Brigadier General Oleksandr Trepak in his place was announced in two decrees on the president's website that provided no explanation for the move.

Since 2014, Trepak has been actively participating in defence operations in east Ukraine against Russian-backed separatists. He was engaged in leading the push to repel the Russian assault on Donetsk airport, one of the biggest operations back then.

The Ukrainian military's chain of command has been changed at different levels since February when Zelenskiy replaced his top commander, Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, with then-ground forces commander Oleksandr Syrskyi in a major shake up.

At the time, Zelenskiy said a new military leadership was taking control of the armed forces and promised to "reboot" the system by bringing in experienced commanders who understood the daily needs of the troops.

The shakeup came at an uncertain time for Ukraine with Russian troops beginning to advance in the east, taking advantage of shortages of Ukrainian manpower at the front as well as dwindling stocks of artillery shells.

In a separate decree on Thursday, Zelenskiy also reappointed Dmytro Hereha as commander of the army's support forces, a post he was dismissed from without any explanation in March.

Lupanchuk was appointed to lead the special forces last November following the sudden dismissal of his predecessor Viktor Horenko.

Horenko's dismissal was seen at the time as a sign of a growing rift between Zelenskiy and his then top commander who was fired months later.

The special forces do not have a public profile, but are thought to have been involved in Ukraine's most ambitious operations in Russian-held areas and in particular the peninsula of Crimea.
